Just got them back from the painters so will get them fitted right and into the daylight for some better pics.

Well I much prefer mine to the Australin version above. I am glad they wont be on there all the time. Having loose bags when travelling got to be a pain in the butt. Going to give them a few thousand miles of test - if I don't get on with them I shall pass them on.

| currently on a slow Harley but will have another Triumph eventually

I'm thinking of mounting them lower down so I don't have to use the side stand.

Nah Mat  That was in Cairo Egypt.
No Aussies that smart to design something that good
Good paint job but I thought that " Red things go faster "

Just a neccessary evil to touring I suppose.

Are you going to bring the clamp I asked you about?

Don't put all us Aussies in the same basket....
Surely that is a Queensland design. You can tell by the red neck and the maroon arse

As its been said, a necessary accessory sometimes. Would be nice to see them tighter to the bike but i guess keeping them removable requires the space? I cant make my mind up about getting some, so far ive made do with a bag on the luggage rack, but thinking of going farther afield 2 up.
